What an Idea.

My pinball CP will have a plunger.  But it's just going to trip a microswitch when pulled back.  Most pinball games have it the longer you hold back the harder it gets.

For a quick & dirty solenoid, check out your local hardware store...in the cheap doorbell section.

SirPoonga:
Quick question.

If a relay is 5vcd, what doea that mean?  It can take up to 5v?  on the switch part or the part I run a current through?

here;s the deal.  for my q*bert knocker, from the computer I can power the relay and transisor with either 5v or 12v.
No, the part that gets triggers on the relay is what is going to get hooked to the solenoid.  The local surplus store has this:

110V solenoid, 24v solenoid, and a 6v solenoid (they have more but thuse pull, not push).
They also have AC-12VCD adaptors I could then use if needed.

What would be a good solution?  What type of relay would I look for then?
